Phoenix, AZ - D-backs offense, too much for Jon Garland and the Padres in series opener as the Padres fall to D-Backs 4-2.

Padres opened their season in Arizona where they go up against the host Diamondbacks. Yesterday's game was close, but in the end the Padres couldn't push across enough runs, losing to the Diamondbacks 4-2 in a NL West contest. Adrian Gonzalez sparked the Padres offense, going 2-for-4 and driving in 1 run in right after David Eckstein brough Everth Cabrera home in the 2nd inning. Padres rally ends in the 2nd inning, D-Backs ace Brandon Webb pitches a gem yesterday going 7 innings, 4 hits, 2 earned run, and 5 strikeouts. On the other end, Padres pitcher Jon Garland was clobbered in his Padres debut. Garland worked 6 innings and allowed 4 runs on 7 hits in defeat.

"I did not have complete control of my pitches up out there.." Garland stated.

Garland did not have control of his pitches indeed. In the 4th inning, Garland gave up a go-ahead home run to Miguel Montero and eventually gave up another in the 6th inning to Conor Jackson. The Padres threatened in the 9th inning with runners in the corners with 1 out, but Chad Qualls was too much against Will Venable, who struck out with a chance to tie or to get the go-ahead run in the 9th. Nick Hundley had also had a chance in the 9th, but he was out on a fly ball to right.

Game 2 is this evening, with Chris Young taking the mound for the first time this season, against Dan Haren of Diamondbacks.
